Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino admitted on Tuesday to making up false information about his day to weed out the “snakes” at the bureau.

“It happened a couple times where they’d say, ‘Oh, you can trust John Smith.’ And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you see a leak in the media and you’d be like, ‘I’m pretty sure that came from John Smith.’ So, I would start, like, messing with people,” he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on his podcast.

Bongino, who left the FBI in January following speculation of a falling out with now ex-Attorney General Pam Bondi, claimed there were two sides of the bureau.

He called one the “good FBI,” which investigated white-collar and violent crimes, and the other, he said, was “populated” with “snakes,” but quipped that the term was too “nice.”

5. Exactly what qualified him to be the FBI Deputy Director?

Daniel John Bongino is an American conservative podcaster, radio host, and law enforcement officer who served as the 20th deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2025 to 2026. He hosted The Dan Bongino Show on Rumble and previously hosted Unfiltered with Dan Bongino on Fox News until April 2023.

Bongino began his career as a New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer from 1995 to 1999 before serving as a U.S. Secret Service agent from 1999 to 2011. He later unsuccessfully ran for Congress three times as a Republican. On February 23, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that Bongino had been named the next deputy director of the FBI. He assumed office on March 17, after concluding his commentating roles on March 14.

Very, very thin qualifications. Perfect Trump nominee.

11. Yup...the whole point of getting somebody like Bongino into the FBI was to eliminate the "Deep State"

He lasted a year and did nothing, because his entire Deep State narrative is invented nonsense for the MAGA rubes. Unfortunately for Bongino, he still had to get up every morning, put on a suit, and go to the office. That's the part he hated, and why he only lasted a year. He's a fundamentally lazy person.

10. This guy barely lasted a year in a real job

He complained about having to get up to go to work and having to work all day. Boo hoo.
